Over the past few months i've tried just about everything to obtain a faithful way of inducing a lucid dream. I tried about every method only to be disappointed night after night. The other day I began to attempt a WILD again. About an hour and a half into it I became discouraged and suddenly a great idea popped into my head. Although I didn't actually WILD that night I did have a pretty crazy WBTB experience.

What I did was imagine, with every detail possible, my hand writing on a plain piece of computer paper. Now give yourself a positive and certain message and watch your hand write out that message over and over until you feel quite certain and drilled into your memory. Watch yourself write out each letter and word and even personalize the way you write the sentences. Leave a gap between sentences so your attention is clearly on what you are writing. I let the other finished sentences come and go as my imagination pleased. For example...

I Will Lucid Dream.

I Will Lucid Dream.

I Will Lucid Dream.

I Will Remember Everything I Dream.

I Will Remember Everything I Dream.

NOT:I Will Try To Lucid Dream
Because you WILL lucid dream if you tell yourself you will.
And so on until I fell asleep. My mind tended to wander in and out of imagining other things/scenes as I started to fall asleep but it would pop back to the exact letter I left off on and I would continue to write. Your subconscious likes positive but assertive/confident messages. I will try and WILD with this method sometime to see how it works in keeping me awake. Hope this helps.
